 Even though Windows and Windows Server are designed to be secure out-of-the-box, many organizations still want more granular control over their security configurations. To navigate the large number of controls, organizations need guidance on configuring various security features. Microsoft provides this guidance in the form of security baselines.

 For example, there are over 3,000 Group Policy settings for Windows 10, which does not include over 1,800 Internet Explorer 11 settings. Of these 4,800 settings, only some are security-related. Although Microsoft provides extensive guidance on different security features, exploring each one can take a long time. You would have to determine the security impact of each setting on your own. Then, you would still need to determine  the appropriate value for each setting.

+## Baseline principles
+Our recommendations follow a streamlined and efficient approach to baseline definitions. The foundation of that approach is essentially:
+-   The baselines are designed for well-managed, security-conscious organizations in which standard end users do not have administrative rights.
+-   A baseline enforces a setting only if it mitigates a contemporary security threat and does not cause operational issues that are worse than the risks they mitigate.
+-   A baseline enforces a default only if it is otherwise likely to be set to an insecure state by an authorized user:
+    -   If a non-administrator can set an insecure state, enforce the default.
+    -   If setting an insecure state requires administrative rights, enforce the default only if it is likely that a misinformed administrator will otherwise choose poorly.
